Chapter 409: Wenjiu is a coward!
If the old man gets mad, things won't be that easy.
Chu Zhuru was not stupid. She knew that she would get nothing out of telling her father about this. She glared at Chu Xiuli and turned to leave. When she walked to the door, she bumped into Wen Jiu who was hiding and eavesdropping, and glared at her again.
Her high heels made a lot of noise on the floor, and Wenjiu was afraid that she would break her heels and fall to her death in her own home, which would be difficult to clean up.
Wen Jiu watched Chu Zhuru leave before turning back to the room to look for Chu Xiuli. He hugged her arm and praised her like a servile person, "Mom, you just spoke so domineeringly, like a queen."
Chu Xiuli poked her on the forehead and said unhappily, "Who taught you that? You've even learned how to eavesdrop through the crack of the door."
"Don't do this again in the future!"
"Okay, Mom!" Wen Jiu said with a playful smile, "I didn't intend to eavesdrop, but what you said was so shocking that I didn't dare to come in. I was afraid that I would interrupt your train of thought and give my aunt a chance to strike back at you."
Chu Xiuli looked helpless, "I find that you are getting better and better at talking, and your words are full of flowery nonsense."
"Of course!"
Wen Lian said arrogantly, "How can I open a shop to make money if I can't speak? If I don't open my mouth, will I offend all the customers?"
"That's true!"
"Don't take Zheng Xin's matter to heart. She deserved it." Chu Xiuli was afraid that Wen Jiu would feel guilty, so she said, "You don't have to pay attention to your aunt. If she can't get a good deal from me, she will definitely ask your uncle and your grandmother for help."
Wen Jiu curled his lips and said, "My grandmother and my uncle will definitely not help her."
Neither of them was stupid enough to not clarify the facts and just let Chu Zhuru fool them and then help her to cause trouble for Chu Xiuli.
"That's for sure."
"I don't worry about that."
The mother and daughter talked for a while in the room, then went downstairs to continue making lanterns. They worked for a whole day to finish all the lanterns.
Wen Jiu originally thought that Lin Yaya would find time to come and avenge him after knowing that he was back, but he didn't expect that he waited for several days and still didn't wait until New Year's Eve.
She felt a little strange.
I secretly asked Wen Jinyan, "What did you do to Lin Yaya when you sent her home that day?"
There were many people at home that day and she was in a hurry to leave, so she forgot about it. She didn't think of asking after she came back.
Wen Jianyan looked around slyly to make sure no one was around, then he leaned over to Wen Jiu's ear and whispered, "It's nothing, I just deliberately let her fall twice in a row and break her leg. She should be recuperating at home these days!"
Who told her to bully his sister?
Is she capable of bullying his sister?
After listening to this, Wen Jiu suddenly understood why Chief of Staff Lin came to his house to find fault. Who wouldn't be angry if a good-looking girl went out and came home as a cripple 20 minutes later?
But she deserved it!
Who made her have bad intentions?
Chu Xiuli had prepared the meal. Seeing that Wen Jiu and Wen Jinyan, brother and sister, had not returned home yet, she ran out to see out of curiosity. However, she found that the two were huddled together and whispering!
She stood there, not knowing what to say to the two siblings.
Can’t you smell the fragrance of rice?
Can't hear the sound of firecrackers?
While other families have already started their reunion dinner, they are still hesitating and haven't even finished arranging the lanterns.
“Hey hey hey!”
"Wen Jinyan, what are you two doing here to warm the wine?"
"Not in a hurry yet?"
"We'll have the reunion dinner tonight?"
"Mom, wait a minute! It will be done soon." After saying that, Wen Jiu hurriedly pulled Wen Jinyan over, brushed paste on the back of the couplet, and held the ladder in his hand for Wen Jinyan to climb up and paste them.
After pasting the couplets, they hung lanterns and pasted window flowers. A big Chinese character "Fu" was also pasted on the door. From a distance, it all looked red and particularly festive, as if they were going to have a wedding.
As soon as Wen Jinyan brought the ladder into the house, Old Man Wen came out with a cane and several strings of firecrackers and handed them to Wen Jiu.
"Hurry up and set off the firecrackers and have dinner."
They have their reunion dinner at noon. Before eating, they have to paste couplets and set off firecrackers.
"Okay, Grandpa!"
"Stand further away!"
He was eager to try after drinking the wine. He picked up the firecrackers that were spread out on the ground in front of the door, ran home to get a stick of incense for worshiping gods, covered his ears with his left hand and tried to light the firecrackers with his right hand. His hands were shaking as if he had Parkinson's disease, and he couldn't light the firecrackers after trying for a long time.
Wen Jinyan rolled her eyes upon seeing this, and suddenly rushed over to pinch her arm and pushed the incense directly onto the firecrackers, then quickly pulled her back to cover her ears.
"ah--"
The wine was warmed with such fright that my heart almost stopped.
Amid the crackling sound of firecrackers, she heard Wen Jinyan's smiling voice.
"Warming wine is a coward!"
She hadn't felt this way for many years, and in a trance she couldn't help but think, if only Lu Beiye could be with her at this moment.
How happy she must be to have her family and lover to spend the New Year with her!
Lu Beiye.
You must come back safely.
After setting off the firecrackers, Wen Zhenhua also came back. Wen Jiu and Wen Jinyan helped Old Man Wen into the house and sat him down, then they washed their hands and went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes and heat the wine.
Chu Xiuli was a little surprised to see Wen Zhenhua coming back. "Why did you come back today and not eat at the army?"
The troops would also prepare reunion dinners. In previous years, Wen Zhenhua basically ate them in the troops. In the thirty years since they got married, the number of years they had eaten reunion dinners together could be counted on one hand.
Wen Zhenhua said with a smile: "I have been eating in the army for so many years, what's wrong with going home to eat?"
"You don't welcome it?"
He plans to eat at home from now on. He thinks it is good enough that he has climbed to this position. It will be enough if he can retire peacefully.
Chu Xiuli said angrily, "If I don't welcome you, then you won't eat at home? What are you waiting for? Why don't you go wash your hands and help serve the dishes?"
She was very happy to see Wen Zhenhua come back.
"Okay!"
Wen Zhenhua said as he leaned over to Chu Xiuli's ear and whispered, "Follow your wife's instructions."
Chu Xiuli's face turned red instantly.
"What are you doing, old man!"
"The children are here!"
"What's wrong with them?"
Wen Zhenhua was not embarrassed at all, and said confidently: "They are all my children. Is it against the law if they see me whispering to my wife?"
Chu Xiuli wanted to strangle him after hearing that, but he had expected her and ran away as soon as he finished speaking. Although Chu Xiuli's outstretched hand fell into empty space, the corners of her mouth were always raised.
The whole family worked together, some wiped the table, some took chopsticks, and soon the steaming hot meal was on the table.
The old man said happily: "Zhenyan, pour some wine for your father, your mother, and your sister. Let's have a few drinks today."
Wen Jianyan thought he had a share, so he immediately stood up and picked up the wine jug to pour wine for everyone one by one, but when it was his turn, the wine jug was taken away by Wen Zhenhua with his long arms.
This made Wen Jinyan very dissatisfied.
